Terminology In Translation

Although all our translators are specialists in their respective fields, it is naive to assume that any translator has dealt with every subject in his/her particular field. New developments, inventions and redesigns make it impossible for even the best translator to know (and therefore translate) all concepts and processes.

Maintaining consistent terminology is the main key to effective communication and good translations. We therefore ask our customers to provide us with glossaries, previous translations or related websites to assist the translator in remaining consistent with the usage of terms. On larger projects, that are assigned to a team of translators, this will ensure that, for example, the technical item in the first chapter of a technical manual will be the same as in the final chapter of the document.

Our clients say…

“I felt I had to write to thank you and your team for the excellent translation services your company has provided Aura Corporation on our recent and very complex project for Mazda Motors Europe.

The translations themselves were highly accurate – not only because of your team’s linguistic abilities, but also their understanding of our business, the project and the target audiences for the various pieces of collateral. Most of all though, I must express my gratitude for the speed and the patience of your team. The project moved, changed and expanded – and it is true to say that without Tongue Tied’s help, we would have found it very, very difficult to meet our deadlines”
